    Partying. The whole idea of dressing up to leave one’s home after dark to visit a dimly lit, overly crowded place with overpriced drinks and snacks and music so loud you can’t hear yourself think.

    Seems entirely unnecessary. I feel like social connection is so much easier when you can see and hear each other. Being able to get enough sleep and not needing to pay through the nose for 5 peanuts is also nice.

      By extension. Going out for drinks. Spending 5x for alcohol served to be briskly by someone overworked and tip them…

      Maybe I’m just cheap but I’d rather just drink at a friends house or my own home.

      This way I’m safer and can pass out if I need to.

        I just don’t drink alcohol in the first place (and also don’t get the hype, lol), but I can see how it makes more sense at a friends house.

      We had this cool medieval style basement tavern where we hammered nails in a stump with an axe, threw axes, played darts, drank beer out of horns and got wasted

      I feel like this is only one specific type or partying where you go to a business. There are many forms of DIY partying which involve spending less money and allow you to see and speak to people that you are parting with.

        Yeah, that I understand more. At least for people who are more extroverted than I am, lol. But being in a setting in which you can see and hear people while not needing to pay insane prices sounds way more reasonable.
